 Mir ist egal. Anything that isn't a Ford Prefect will suit me.

 :/ Is the fact that I was taught German almost 60 years ago by a Viennese any excuse?

 I see...Well, there is not a big difference between Austrian and "hochdeutsch". So I'd say: Link to "i1122.photobucket.com" Sorry. :/

Or the shortened slang-version "Ist mir egal"
:no: "ist's" is not correct German! Otherwise: the modern German orthography became unbearable terrible. It started with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_orthography_reform_of_1996 and became even worse since then with Link to "www.spiegel.de" [:halalala]

Written yes -except some different unique words- but spoken the differences are extreme (but between the many German dialects, too), plus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanake
Swiss German has more differences (my Swiss favourite -although I understand less than 1/3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfL_IRXVLtQ )
But not only the Austrian German is different, also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoqORos_1WA :D (a persiflage of this social clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AerZ0VdwXA )

Also in the common life all around in Germany you have to be aware about your speaking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECWoPwPK864

In case of doubt you have learned the most correct German syntax back then. It became much worse...

Btw.: we had to learn British English in school in the 80ies, my mother in the late 50ies was even drilled for classic Oxford English.

 Should we change from unknown to the Ford Anglia now?

 I'm not very convinced by any of the suggestions, except the nearest as a possible Austin Ten Cambridge, and maybe the Minor. If there's another vote for Cambridge, let's grab it quickly and move on ....

 If that’s not an Austin Ten Cambridge I shall consider relocation to Shropshire.
